GRASS VALLEY UNION NOVEMBER 15 & 16, 1865 577
for a series of years. Millmen will now be able to procure their seives without going to tht trouble of
sending below for them. Give the new establishment a call.
HOGGISH.—A bull dog caught a fine, fat pig on Mill street yesterday, and despite the efforts of
half a dozen persons to take him away, held on to the pig until he nearly killed him. We dislike to witness
these displays, but the streets are not the proper places for hogs, and the dogs seem to know it. Should this
hog die, it will doubtless have the effect of awakening owners of swine to the necessity, to say nothing of
the propriety, of keeping their animals at home.
1.0. of G.T.—The officers installed in Rough and Ready Lodge No. 152 1.0. of G.T., for the present
term, are: W.C.T., John Landis; W.V.T., Julia Single; W.S., Wm. Harrell; W.T., John Flint; W.F.S., John
Smith; W.M., John Fippin; W.I.G., Mrs. R. Sheffield; W.O.G., F. M. Gilham; W.R.H.S., Mary Huitt;
W.L.HLS., Lutitia Merrell; W.A.S., Daniel Rogers; W.D.M., Paulina Dale.
WASHED AWAY.—The bridge in Boston Ravine crossing Wolf Creek, was washed away
on Monday night, rendering it impossible for teams to cross now. The people of that section are an
enterprising set, however, and a new bridge will be built without delay. The Colfax stages had to turn back
and go by way of Auburn street, being unable to get across the bridge.
THE FINALE.—The case of Lotti Irwin against a large number of the Grass Valley firemen, for
washing out her saloon on Mill street, was tried in Justice Smith’s Court, Nevada, on Monday, and
resulted in four of the party being convicted and fined forty dollars each. Rather a singular verdict,
certainly. If any offense had been committed, it is hard to see how a jury could single out four of the
defendants for conviction.
DELAY ED.—The Colfax stage, from Nevada, was behind time yesterday morning, owing to a
mishap that occurred on the road this side of the Gold Run Bridge. There is a steep hill in front of the
flour mill, and the water rushing down from this had dug out a large hole at this end of the bridge, into
which the horses attached to the stage went in up to their necks. The stage and horses were gotten out
without damage to either and left here about eight o’clock.
CHANGE OF WEATHER.—The dry goods men are getting up a petition to the clerk of the weather
for a little sunshine. There hasn’t been a lady seen on the streets since Monday morning, owing to the
heavy rains, and the dry goods stores look dull while their proprietors are the bluest looking fellows we
have seen for a long time. Guess the prayer of their petition will be granted.
DIDN’T COME TO TIME.—A prize fight was to have taken place yesterday morning in Boston
Ravine, between two gentlemen who desired to contest for the champion’s belt and a small amount
of money. The matter had been arranged on the previous evening and ten dollars forfeit put up. At the
appointed hour yesterday several of the lovers of that kind of sport repaired to the locality designated but
as the gentleman depositing the ten dollars had declined to come to time, the [illegible] holders, hackers
and spectators had to trudge through the mud and rain and return without having their desires satisfied.
We understand that our efficient Town Marshal had determined to put a stop to such demonstrations in the
future and this may have had some effect upon the premeditated affair of yesterday.

THE SIDEWALK NUISANCE.—It is singular that notwithstanding all our boasted wealth, portions
